In-game description

Bent Crest Key.

The grooves of the crest are enchanted,
the door sealed with a powerful spell.

Where to find

Mimic reward

Oolacile Township: later large building

Requirements

  • Enter the DLC and defeat Artorias.
  1. Use the Broken Pendant route from Darkroot Basin, defeat Sanctuary Guardian and cross Royal Wood to Artorias. After defeating him, continue down into Oolacile Township.
  2. Descend past the first groups of corrupted residents and sorcerers. In the later large building, look for the wooden floor and the lower side room with a table and fireplace.
  3. Drop or roll from the wooden floor into that room and defeat the Mimic for the Crest Key. This is the later Mimic, not the earlier one that drops the Very Good Carving.
  4. Return to the outside of Artorias's arena. Follow the stairs around its wall to the locked tower door, open it and climb the ladder to Hawkeye Gough.

Notes

  • Gough's tower: Unlocks the tower above the Artorias arena approach. Gough sells his great arrows and other supplies once you can speak to him.
  • Kalameet help: After encountering Kalameet in the basin, return to Gough and discuss the dragon. His help makes the ordinary grounded boss fight possible.
  • Different crest: This DLC key is separate from Crest of Artorias, sold by Andre for the forest door.
  • No light requirement for this lock: The light-revealed room containing Silver Pendant is a different Township secret. The Crest Key comes from a Mimic, and Gough's door opens with the key.
  • Later journeys: This key is removed when a new journey begins. Collect it again if you need to reopen its lock; unlocking the door in the previous journey does not keep it open.
